Kyle Farnsworth is at this week's Winter Meetings in San Diego in hopes of finding a contract.

"I’ve still got it," said Farnsworth posted a 4.40 ERA and 18/15 K/BB ratio over 28 2/3 innings this past season between the Mets and Astros. He turns 39 in April. Chances are he'll have to settle for a minor league contract at this point in his career. Mon, Dec 8, 2014 04:01:00 PM

Farnsworth was outrighted off the Astros' 40-man roster on Thursday morning to clear a spot for Jose Veras and has now rejected an assignment to Triple-A. The 38-year-old had a 6.17 ERA in 11 2/3 innings with Houston but should be able to find a minor league contract. Thu, Jun 26, 2014 02:11:00 PM

Astros signed RHP Kyle Farnsworth.

It didn't take long for the free agent hurler to find new work after being released by the Mets on Wednesday. With as bad as the Astros bullpen has been, Farnsworth should quickly work his way into a setup role. Sat, May 17, 2014 11:21:00 AM

George Springer will be examined within the next two weeks to see how his fractured right wrist is healing.

Springer has already missed four weeks of action and it sounds like he might be out longer than the six-week timetable that was given. The outfielder has been shagging flyballs and staying active, but he's "not doing anything really with his right hand," according to Astros manager A.J. Hinch.

Peacock suffered an intercostal strain in his first start and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since. He was close to coming back but suffered a setback during a rehab appearance on June 11. Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija should be available if the Astros choose to upgrade their starting rotation at the trade deadline.

Samuel Deduno will undergo season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right hip.

It's a labrum repair. Deduno was told in early June that he could probably avoid surgery, but the injury wasn't healing quickly enough on its own. It's not clear what the future holds for the 32-year-old right-hander.
